Power for All Joins the CLASP Family

Nairobi, Kenya, 11 February 2026 – Strong and agile partnerships have been key to unlocking climate progress and sustainable development objectives. Today, a new collaboration emerges: we are delighted to announce that Power for All will join forces with CLASP.

CLASP is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to improving appliance and equipment energy efficiency, with 25 years of expertise and offices on five continents. Since 2015, Power for All has played a crucial role in the energy access sector, leading impactful campaigns, partnerships, and research to help end energy poverty worldwide.

Now, Power for All joins CLASP. By embedding Power for All’s well-honed campaign and partnership approaches in CLASP’s work, we will strengthen engagement with energy suppliers as well as our collective capacity to elevate appliance and equipment efficiency as a key solution to powering jobs and livelihoods while mitigating climate pollution.

CLASP CEO Christine Egan sees this union as a strategic move for making faster, practical progress:

Since its founding, Power for All has encouraged the distributed renewables sector to expand its thinking and partnerships for improved impact, for example, to make smarter connections with utilities. By joining forces, CLASP and Power for All will advance the integration of energy supply and energy demand. This is a critical move for sustainably getting people the energy services they need, and a direction that CLASP recently articulated in our flagship research, The Missing Piece of Energy Access. Together, our research and stakeholder networks will create a platform to super-charge climate-friendly prosperity. —Christine Egan

Since 2015, Power for All has challenged the status quo and encouraged the sector to probe deeper and better understand how best to drive a more inclusive global energy system. Over the years, they have led boundary-pushing research, publishing sector-defining report series such as their “Powering Jobs Census,” which tracks employment trends in the distributed renewable energy sector and provides critical labor market insights in key countries like Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda. Additionally, their ground-breaking Utilities 2.0 campaign sought to demonstrate the benefits of combining centralized and decentralized energy into an integrated energy network. This first-of-its-kind campaign showed that doing so could deliver customer-centric, clean energy solutions faster and more cheaply.

Kristina Skierka, founder of Power for All, reflects on the organization’s legacy and its new chapter:

Power for All was born from the companies that built the decentralized renewable energy sector in order to help accelerate the end of energy poverty. The combined efforts of Power for All and 500+ campaign partners in our decade of action helped connect over 500 million new energy users around the world. I’m encouraged by CLASP’s institutional strength, mission alignment, and global reach to steward the campaign’s legacy, and I remain deeply grateful to every advocate, ally, and team member who helped build this movement. —Kristina Skierka

Over the coming months, as this union takes shape, expect revived and historical Power for All offerings across CLASP channels.

Regarding the partnership, Alba Topulli, outgoing CEO at Power for All, and incoming Senior Director of Clean Energy Access at CLASP, adds:

CLASP has built one of our sector’s most trusted platforms through decades of shaping appliance markets and advancing energy efficiency, grounded in how people actually use energy. Power for All’s years of campaigning and coalition-building have shown us that systems change happens when we move together as a sector—aligning supply and demand, connecting public and private actors, and ensuring centralized and decentralized systems work as one. Together, we’re committed to a shift toward integrated energy solutions that put people at the center and make demand-side initiatives foundational to how energy access is planned, financed, and delivered. —Alba Topulli

Adam Browning, Chair of the Board for Power for All, said:

Power for All has always championed bold collaboration and systems-level thinking to accelerate universal energy access. CLASP’s trusted leadership, global reach, and deep technical expertise offer a strong platform to expand our collective impact, grounded in shared purpose and a belief that demand-side solutions must be central to the energy access agenda. The Board is proud to support this strategic partnership, which honors Power for All’s work and positions it for greater scale and impact in the years ahead. —Adam Browning

CLASP and Power for All are delighted to unite forces and are confident that together, we can achieve even greater impact for people, enhanced prosperity, and the planet.
